"It was really weird, we'd heard about the pandemic in China, but then the similarities between what we were writing about started to become closer to reality. Every time there was a news story about it, we'd turn to each other and say 'Parasite Eve', not realising the magnitude of it all. We shelved the song for a bit because it felt bit too close to the bone. After sitting on it for a while, we realised that this was a reason to release it now more than ever. In our music we've always wanted to escape, but there's been too much escapism and ignoring the problems in the world. It's not what the world needs. The world needs more and needs to think about it and remember. You can't just brush over it and expect life to go back to normal, because it fucking ain't. In so many ways, we need to change. That's what rock music is about – addressing the dark side and processing it..."
JUST MAKING A POINT!
Bring Me The Horizon Lyrics
"Parasite Eve"
(feat. Mick Gordon)
Накривил е калпачето ей така, па така
Нанагоре-нанадоле, ей така, па така
Накривил е калпачето ей така, па така
Нанагоре-нанадоле, ей така, па така
English translation for 1st verse:
(He twisted the cap like this, like that
Up and down, like that, like that
He twisted the cap like this, like that
Up and down, like that, like that)
I've got a fever, don't breathe on me
I'm a believer in nobody
Won't let me leave 'cause I've seen something
Hope I don't sneeze, I don't [*sneeze*]
Really we just need to fear something
Only pretending to feel something
I know you're dying to run
I wanna turn you around
Please, remain calm, the end has arrived
We cannot save you, enjoy the ride
This is the moment you've been waiting for
Don't call it a warning, this is a war
It's the Parasite EveGot a feeling in your stomach 'cause you know that it's coming for ya
Leave your flowers and grieve
D
on't forget what they told ya, eh-eh
When we forget the infectionWill we remember the lesson?
If the suspense doesn't kill you
Something else will, eh-eh
Move
I heard they need better signal
Put chip and pins in the needles
Quarantine all of those secrets
In that black hole you call a brain before it's too lateReally we just wanna scream something
Only pretend to believe something
I know you're baying for blood
I wanna turn you around
Please, remain calm, the end has arrived
We cannot save you, enjoy the ride
This is the moment you've been waiting for
Don't call it a warning, this is a war
It's the Parasite EveGot a feeling in your stomach 'cause you know that it's coming for ya
Leave your flowers and grieve
Don't forget what they told ya, eh-eh
When we forget the infectionWill we remember the lesson?If the suspense doesn't kill you
Something else will, eh-eh
It's the Parasite EveGot a feeling in your stomach 'cause you know that it's coming for ya
Leave your flowers and grieve
Don't forget what they told ya, eh-eh
When we forget the infection
Will we remember the lesson?If the suspense doesn't kill you
Something else will
You can board up your windows, you can lock up your doors, yeah
But you can't keep washing your hands of this shit anymore
When all the king's sources and all the king's friends
Don't know their arses from their pathogensWhen life is a prison and death is the door
This ain't a warning, this is a war, war
This is a war, eh-eh, oh-oh
It's the Parasite EveGot a feeling in your stomach 'cause you know that it's coming for ya
Leave your flowers and grieve
Don't forget what they told ya, eh-eh
When we forget the infection
Will we remember the lesson?If the suspense doesn't kill you
Something else will, eh-eh
It's the Parasite Eve, eh-eh
It's the Parasite Eve, eh-eh
It's the Parasite Eve, eh-eh
Eh-eh, eh-eh
We cannot save you
We cannot save you
We cannot save you
We cannot save you
We cannot save you
